Social networking sites are fun for a while, but they are largely peripheral to what you do in meatspace. Sooner or later the younger set starts working for "the Man", and "the Man" blocks Facebook because it's an entropy generator sucking productivity out of the workplace. =) E-mail's going to remain the primary communication conduit for businesses for a good long while. I can't see a bank or telco company asking customers to contact them via IM or a Facebook profile; they wouldn't be able to tolerate the risk to the brand.

Since teens and young adults are stuck sending what amounts to emails inside of the walled gardens of the social networks. I can see a big need for interop apps to allow the movement of these "emails" out of the walled gardens. I think you are right.
